The visit to the Biodome was crazy because of all of the kids visiting with their daycamps. There were literally hundreds. Walking through the vast structure featuring plants and animals we felt bad that Z-Dub wasn't there to see it. We've already decided that a return visit is in order. Next time he'll come with us.
The Biodome structure as seen from the Metro station Viau. The facility features a variety of climates, including South American Jungle and North American Forest. Also below are a variety of animal shots.
Here's a bonus video of the penguins.
Immediately after visiting the Biodome, we hitched a ride on the Parc Olympique shuttle over to the nearby botanical gardens. The place is huge, the second largest in the world. We visited the Japanese and Chinese Gardens. I was even taught a Japanese purification ceremony in the Japanese Tea Garden. Here are some photos.
After we went souvenir shopping in Vieux Montreal, followed by a quick stroll through Chinatown.
That's it. Of course we have hundreds more photos, but two days of posts capture the essence of our vacation. Hope you enjoyed them.
